Wednesday and thursday of the past week I and my 2 friends 7ornado (Simone) and The King (Marco) meet at Castagnito (Italy, near Asti, a place famous for wine and truffles). We had 100 litres of LN2 and a lot of hardware. 7ornado and the king used: i7-975 my A-Data 2133X MNH-E-Hyper HD4870 Sapphire 1 GB the good old Enermax Galaxy 1 KWatt ryba CPU and GPU pot I used: …

Nothing special here, no WR or something like that but today finally I had 10 litres of LN2 to try my i7 950. I’m happy because it’s been a long time since I had a good bench session at LN2, in the last six months I lost my time with p4 (8.1 GHZ then the RE died….), phenom 1090T with a crappy MSI 890FX and another bunch of rubbish… Now seems that the luck is coming back, this 950 works pretty well.**** …

Few weeks ago I got an i7 950 from ebay. The first impression was good, it has a really strong IMCH and it’s damn hot…then probably it has low cold bug. Before put it under LN2, as I always do, I’m testing it with my single stage phase change (for more info look at Cooling section). The maximum core frequency that I can reach isn’t that good, but I think that with more cold it will give me tons of others MHZ. …

It was 10 April 2010, AOC (me, the king, 7ornado and |ron) is back in business. After long time we decide to test another time Alien, a Pentium 631 that 2 years ago got the frequency absolute world record. This time we used a Rampage Extreme, the mobo looked pretty solid but not as good as the good old ASUS Commando. BTW we got 8025 MHZ, the precedent WR made with this CPU was 8180 MHZ. In the next months probably we will retry it maybe with a Commando and maybe we will get back in Italy the frequency WR. …
